Reason Beyond Acceptance Lyrics
Over population…it is the biggest epidemic. With advancement of technology and medicine people keep living longer and longer. Soon all of the world’s resources will be tapped and wide spread disease and decay will become rampant…all because of over population. What are the options…? (Welcome
to the Real World – Instrumental) (Over
Populate) From every corner of the globe we see advancementWe
see progression, we see containment Everywhere
we see modern technology Modern
philosophy, archaic methods We
live in a state of democracy State
of diplomacy, state of panic… Too
long too far, when may the madness end? How
long can we, fight till the bitter end? Over-populate,
the fear of mankind Over-populate,
burning holes in their minds With
the notion of regulation They
control family growth It’s
just pathetic, this anesthetic False
amnesia It’ll
never work I have determined my own analysis This
disease they’ve planted in our own psychosis Just
the other day in the newspaper I
read one billion born Just
recently saw an obituary And
we hardly mourn The
passing of another man, we suffer apathy This
is the ideal situation for planned society -Solo- From
every corner of the… In a small town nothing seems out of the ordinary, except for one family. They just found out their son, their only son has been diagnosed with a rare, incurable form of cancer… (Outlook) The
outlook isn’t good, the message simply put
Six
months maybe a year, the message was clear The
doctor said with proper treatment We
could prolong the fate you’re given But
I don’t believe that’s considered living Let
me die with my dignity The
choice it is mine what to do next No
more needles no more tests No
more promises unkept I
can’t remember when I last slept (Philosophy
of the Absolute) At
my age, I saw nothing At
my age, no goals were met At
my age, I saw nothing At
my age, a solemn bet God
has said to me, God has planned for me God
has said to me, at my age…no future (Uprising
– instrumental) The young man secludes himself, lost in emotion he doesn’t know where to turn. Unwilling to give in without a fight he turns his focus on knowledge, he retreats to a local library and it’s Internet access. He finds masses of information on cancer. Causes, cures, research and data. As he delves deeper and deeper he becomes obsessed with the very thing that is slowly killing him. Hours turn into days and days to weeks… (Cause or the Cure) Row upon row of wasted information Day upon day I wasted searching Years of my life have been lost forever Hours run short for me What it is, is meant to be In my life, no guarantees I don’t know what I’m searching for
Is it the cause or the cure? Looking for answers knee deep in
bullshit Lie upon lie printed till I go blind Lost in a maze of empty theories Lost in a web of confusion What it is, is meant to be In my life no guarantees I don’t know what I’m searching for Is it the cause or the cure? Got power lines above my head Got nicotine in my system Got second hand smoke, what a joke I’m a man on a mission I’ve been programmed to point a
finger A revolving door situation Sitting, staring at the screen and
nothings new today Same information same irritations Delusions tempt to play Clear my mind of all distractions Take away their strength Need to remember, never surrender What is this I see? Then it happens…he finds a federal research report from 1982, FDA Research Document AAQ88.99.32//population. (Breeding Cancer) Look into the mirror, try not to
believe Though it’s getting clearer, memory
retrieved Upon a second look worse off than
thought Focus in, focus in, focus in, look what
the Devil brought It started, it started, it started over
again (Breeding, breeding) Taken back hard to believe Off the tracks, with nothing up their
sleeves Do I make a choice to turn my back
away? Hear the voice, hear the voice, again
and again I find myself trying to explain Finding myself again and again I look past the hate inside Finding myself again and again I look past the hate inside But their breeding cancer never dies Deep seeded curiosity forces the young man to break into the sealed document; he has nothing to lose anyways. What he finds is to put it simply, overwhelming. Page upon page upon page of research, facts and tests documenting man-made diseases and cures. He prints it all, 1,244 pages. Feeling exhausted he heads home planning an early morning return to the library. The following day as he nears the local library he sees FBI agents swarming the building, sealing off entrances and questioning employees. Assuming the reason he quickly retreats. (Think) Think, about
what you’re doing today Think, about
tomorrow My life has
gone so many different directions Feel lost,
feel like I’m out of control It seems like
only yesterday Twenty-four
hours ago Think, dreams
are never owned Think,
they’re only borrowed The pendulum
I’m swinging on I feel like I
can’t hold on -Solo- Classified,
access denied, on the run, under the gun Defragmentation,
an obligation, Tear apart,
the fabric of a nation… Unbelievable, the government has many of the cures in storage. Seventeen diseases in all are utilized for growth control, one of them being his form of cancer. For a moment he felt hope but quickly it was replaced with a realization of what he was up against. The federal government, the health industry, the media…they control everything. Upon reading more of the report there is a name mentioned, Dr. Alex
Shordain. Location:
unknown Death:
unknown (I am the
One) “I spoke to
God today, she told me not this way” Some people
think that I’m crazy, that’s what they wanted This prison
is my life, haunting me till the day I die I am the one
who knows a secret I am the one
who found the cure I am the man
they fear… I am the one
they put away I am the one,
I am the one
Some days
I’ve wondered what I’ve done If I could
save the life of one All of this
wouldn’t be for nothing My legacy
wouldn’t be in vain I am the one
who knows the secret I am the one
who found the cure I am the man
they fear… I am the one
they put away I am the one,
I am the one There are others, but time is not on the young man’s side. He must move quickly if he wants to save his life and the lives of so many others, what can he do? Who can he contact? Who can he trust? (Along the
Way) Planting the
seed of so called progression Lead to
believe, only see regression Tormented
soul taught another lesson Time takes
its toll told not to mention The life that
could be, we could see, if only we open ours eyes The chance we
could take, we could make if only we realize The walls
they could fall if we all stand and unite again Comprehend
don’t pretend my friend and open your eyes But society
can never make it easy And reality
knows when to push you down Another deity
makes the rules and won’t allow Humanity to
learn along the way…along the way My way Set to return
a life left unfinished Marks
unfulfilled goals now diminished Told a
thousand lies stand no chance at all You know
it’s my only ally, why won’t you heed the call? -chorus- The life that
could be we could see… The chance we
could take we could make… The walls
they would fall if we all stand and unite again Comprehend
don’t pretend… ** My life has
come full circle, my waitings over now I have been
given a chance, the power to change it all A reason
beyond acceptance, redeeming my finest hour Healing the
deepest wounds, along the way, along the way…
Avoiding local law enforcement and the FBI is no easy task. The lies they are spreading are reprehensible and they are putting his face everywhere. Grabbing a local paper he sees his name, “wanted” …unbelievable. (Shadow of a
Doubt) A wanted man
with no identity A young man
wanders away Lost in
search of answers Lost in
search of humanity Sees his face
on the T.V. station Sees his name
on the front page Sees his life
spinning downward Sees it all
slip away People are
judging me, suppressing me When they
don’t know a damn thing People are
chasing me, defacing me Willing to
tear limb from limb In their eyes
I’m already guilty In their eyes
there never will be In their eyes
I’m the devil I’m guilty
in their eyes, I’m guilty… -Solo- (Quiet
Desperation – Instrumental) Looking further he sees the headline “Senator Attending Local Dinner. Local representatives…local media…this is his only chance. If only he can get this information in the right hands maybe, just maybe, someone will make a difference. He makes a mad dash for the Senator but he never reaches her. As he’s pulled away, with tears running down his face, the Senator sees the “report” lying on the floor. She picks it up and tucks it away, questioning what just happened. The young man is now in Federal Custody awaiting trial, a trial he’ll never see because of the stage he is at in his illness, charged with everything under the sun and more. His parents don’t understand for now…He remembers… (Winter’s
Eve) Quietly
awaiting for meaningless plight Look over my
shoulder till all is out of sight Lost in the
darkness single light that bleeds Through…the
cracks of tomorrow Lose…the
pieces of today Lost in
Winter’s Eve, when will I believe…again? -solo- Fallen snow
surrounds my fading memories Gentle snow
caresses how bitter sweet How bitter
sweet In life…we
find meaning In
mortality…we find truth Lost in
Winter’s Eve, when will I be…? Grieving the lose of their son, his parents search for something, anything that could explain what has happened. No one will give them answers…no one seems to care. (Requiem –
Pt. 1) “the father’s perspective” Living your
life as seen through my eyes Day
by day you never seemed to care You never
knew, never had a clue Yes our days
are numbered but no one’s keeping score, no one’s keeping score I watched and
listened as you went about your life Seeing this
and doing that, I never thought you truly cared Until the day
they told you, I saw it in your eyes As you left
the room and wandered You were so
young why did you have to die? Why did you
have to die? Then the look
in your eyes changed And you took
your life in your own hands Despite the
fear, despite the pain, you turned it upside down You laughed
at death and brought it to its knees And all I
could do is smile I could never
have been more proud I just wish
you were here, I just wish, I just wish you were here (Rage)
I just wish I
knew the truth I just wish
you could tell me something Based on the
facts in front of me I don’t
like how it ends All the world
is spinning around me Faster and
faster till I fall Till I
fall… Do you feel
my rage? It’s so
clear I know what to do now I need to
clear away my thoughts I need to
gain perspective How many
leaders have been bought? Nothing makes
sense to me Clearly I
can’t see, my lose clouds my vision When I call
out your name Do you feel
my rage? Do you feel
my rage? Do you feel
my rage? Today brings
me new meaning Have a new
purpose in life I will
discover the reason I’ll bring
the truth into the light Nothing makes
sense to me Clearly I
can’t see, my lose clouds my vision Then I call
out your name -Solo- Everything
makes sense to me, clearly I can see My pain
brings me focus, and then I call out your name (Requiem –
Pt. 2) “the son’s perspective – retrospect” As I left
that cold room, not a thought crossed my mind As I wandered
through, it all seemed like a lie I have just
begun to see, the world was there for me But now the
door is shut, and I have lost the key…oh… -Solo- As I wandered
in despair I felt you
next to me You helped me
see in the dark Helped me be
the best I could be And as I
leave this world behind I want you
know the truth I leave free
of despair… For your
grace…has… Set Me
Free…
(Ascension
– Instrumental) One year to the day of the young man’s passing, his father receives a phone call. The Senator who claimed the fallen report was on the other end… “We need to talk, it’s about your son…”
